Presumably, the flames were not intense.

Nonetheless, first responders in Sioux Falls, S.D., were not pleased when a man who had been evacuated from a burning multi-family house went back inside as they were tending to other residents outside, according to The Smoking Gun.

In fact, local police arrested 56-year-old Michael Casteel, who allegedly "persisted" in trying to get back into the house to get beer from his apartment, the website reported.

Casteel managed to snag two cans of Bud Ice Premium before being taken to the Minnehaha County Jail. He was booked on a charge of obstructing a firefighter or law enforcement official, with bail set at $300, according to The Smoking Gun.

This guy was preparing for a fishing trip in Alaska. He grabbed a case of beer and tried to load it onto his boat, but the line snapped and the case fell into the ocean. Luckily, his mates quickly dove into the water and retrieved the precious commodity.

On Wednesday, Casteel was not listed in the jail's online records, but his troubles aren't over. According to court documents, he is scheduled for trial May 17 on a March 26 arrest for driving while intoxicated and six other charges, including failure to stop for an emergency vehicle.
